Be aware that letters pertaining to the IRS or the Hoyt Fiasco get routed through the Taxpayer Assistance Office (TAO). You must state clearly in your letter that you are not writing about a tax problem.  You must ask that the recipient not simply forward your letter, or that is what they are going to do.

See the assistance center for a mail merge files with addresses.

You should also address your concerns to the TAO nearest you, because many people in the IRS think you do have a tax problem.

Please be as factual as possible, whenever you write. Below are some tips.

 Your individual contact should be a personal note from you in your own words describing your circumstances. Do not copy anyone else's letter. Form letters are not taken seriously. Also, the best letters stick to only a few points--rather than trying to address everything. Less is more.

Here are some things you can include in your note:

1. How I got into this investment (including what I saw to convince me of the business merits)
2. What I paid over the years to Hoyt
3. How often I am hearing from the IRS
4. What I am hearing from the IRS
5. What my current IRS bill is
6. What future bills are outstanding.
7. How will these bills affect my financial standing
8. How will a garnishment affect my employment.
9. How this investment affected my life

At the end, you should include a paragraph that asks your representative to take an action, like one of these:

• Meet with you face to face.
• Ask for a collections hold on your personal account from the IRS
• Ask for abatement of penalty interest by the IRS
• Ask for abatement of all interest by the IRS
• Ask for abatement of the underlying tax because of the IRS misconduct
• Ask for a meeting between the IRS Commissioner and Hoyt Partner attorneys
• Refer IRS misconduct to the IRS Oversight Committee for investigation--why the flagrant disregard for the Tax Code?
• Refer IRS misconduct to the Justice Department--why have employees of the IRS misused IRS resources?
• Refer IRS misconduct to the FBI--where is the missing $100 million?
• Initiate a thorough Congressional investigation--is it the intention of Congress for a federal agency to assist in committing a fraud that leaves families bereft?
• Initiate a thorough Government Accounting Office investigation--how did that $100 million disappear?
• Force the IRS to grant all partners as good a settlement as it has granted any other partner--rather than the double standard we are seeing.

Several other items should be included in your initial contact with your representative.

1. A privacy waiver form complete with your name, birth date, social security number. You must send a privacy waiver form complete with your name, birth date, social security number. Until this is on file, it does no good to send a letter to any legislator. To look up specific legislators, click here. Or go to www.google.com or www.yahoo.com and do a search for the legislator you are contacting. On that legislator's site, you will find a privacy form. Use that form, rather than a generic one--this helps move things along.
2. A copy of the January 22, 1998 letter to the Honorable William Roth from Richard Pooley and Associates.
3. A copy of the October 8, 1998 letter to Mr. W Val Oveson, National Taxpayer Advocate from Montgomery Cobb (Partnership Level Attorney)
